Best Chinese Barbecue Sauce Recipes

CHINESE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl,( or a jar with a tight fitting lid), until the sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until you are ready to use it.
• *You can set aside some for use as a dipping sauce, but you must first bring it to a full rolling boil, over med. heat, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer until it is thick, and slightly reduced.
• **When you are ready to cook, marinate meat for 4-24 hours, turning once every two hours. You then grill or broil the meat until it is cooked through,(and slightly charred- this adds to the flavor!).

• In a bowl, combine the sugar, salt, dry mustard, Chinese five-spice powder, pepper, cinnamon and cloves.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the ribs.
• Pour the sherry into a spray bottle.
• Place the ribs on the hot grate above the drip pan and away from the coals, bony side down.
• Cover and grill for 30 minutes. Spray the ribs with sherry. Cover and grill for another 30 minutes.
• Shift the ribs around (but keep them bony side down) and spray once more with sherry.
• Cover and grill for about 30 minutes longer, until the meat is tender.
• Replenish the coals as necessary throughout grilling.
• Take the ribs off the grill and spread the coals out evenly.
• Brush the Guava Barbecue Sauce on both sides of the ribs and grill directly over the fire for about 1 minute per side, until glazed and bubbling.
